Organise an educational science and health-based excursion for home schooled students in Perth, W.A. to the Telethon Kids Institute for groups of 20 children or less!

Suitable for primary students in Years 3-6, our home school programs feature all the best parts of the Telethon Kids primary school excursion program, but is tailored to smaller, mixed age groups, giving students more opportunities and time to engage with a Telethon Kids researcher.

The home school excursions run for 2 hours and include:

  • Time in the Discovery Centre, where students will learn about science, health, and research through interactive games,
  • Hands-on science activities delivered by our very own Telethon Kids researchers, and
  • A guided viewing of our world-class lab facilities.

Sessions cost $7.00 + GST per child or a flat rate of $140.00 plus GST for a group of 20 children or less and is available Monday to Friday, depending on availability.
